God, We Adore (Ir)Reverence

Politics in this country might be too far gone for any reasoned debate, but thats exactly why GWAR exists. As Earths only openly extra-terrestrial rock band, GWAR has the wherewithal to cut through the rotting meat of our current Presidential election and get to the heart of the issues: Namely, which candidate can survive a grueling, two-hour-long deathmatch against the Destructo brothers? Says band manager Sleazy P. Martini via his website, [Ill] make sure that this will be the fairest and squarest test of American Presidential metal we can rig my way.

Yep, the band with the fake-bloodiest live show in the galaxy is back to their old ways, lampooning public figures and deconstructing what we call music concerts with their latest tour, Electile Dysfunction 08. The three-month voyage de carnage kicks off tonight at 6:30 at Revolution (200 W. Broward Blvd., Fort Lauderdale). In attendance will be the regular gang of foam-latex covered cronies, like Oderus Urungus and Balsac, and presidential hopefuls Barack Obama and John McCain will vie for the coveted Mid-Galactic Wrestling belt. As far as youre concerned, mere mortal, bring $18 (for tickets), a sense of humor, and clothes you wont mind washing fake semen out of. Visit www.jointherevolution.net.
